The brothers who made the shirts worn by drug kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán during his meeting with Hollywood actor Sean Penn have seen sales skyrocket.
Sam and Shawn Esteghbal, Jewish Iranians who live in Los Angeles, co-own Barabas, the store which sells the $128 (£89) tops favoured by the Mexican billionaire criminal.
News outlets all over the world shared a photo of Guzmán wearing one of their silver-and-blue designs - called “Fantasy” - while shaking Academy Award winner Sean Penn’s hand during their interview for Rolling Stone, published two days after the drug lord was arrested.
And in the video of their meeting, Guzmán is wearing another of the brothers’ shirts, a black-and-blue shirt they call “Crazy Paisley”.
